How much does this really matter? If your wife wants to sleep w/another guy, isn't that just as disloyal, in its way, as doing it? But then, how many people get married and suddenly find that there are no other attractive people in the world?

What is the dogs name?

Or is it Big Heavy?

I was actually on a train like that in 1974... I got on very early and there were no seats but not many people on the midnight train out of Amritsar... then before we left, it became increasingly crowded. I could barely breathe.

Well, when you have a stated goal in life is to be 80 yrs old and pay teenagers to sleep with you, you can give off a really creepy vibe that others will pick up on...

maybe you meant, "I" can't tell... you need to consider the situation, and the person and what is in their eyes. It requires a certain amount of perception, quite common amongst Thai and some farang can do it too...

The upside is that it makes others feel good, thereby making you feel good too...

Yo, Big Heavy - you must remember this, a kiss is just a kiss, a smile is just a smile... It, in its many varied meanings, makes life more pleasant here.

It is just a smile - it mostly doesn't mean more than a way to say hello... can it mean more, sure. But it helps if you understand that there are many different smiles w/different meanings... One day in Bkk I was walking down the street and a young lady, too young for me, was approaching and I gave her a 'you look great smile' - I was not coming on to her. = she was flattered and returned a 'coy, thank you for noticing me' smile. I walk around smiling at people all day - they appreciate it and smile back... it's a pleasant way to live. So Froggy, the smile is what it is, maybe you need to use or develop your perceptions...

and then they post drivel on forums.... but who can be sane in an insane world... [don't answer that!]

They panic when stocks go down precipitously and they fear losing more principal than they already have... pretty normal stuff.

sure, me too, they are all long dead by now...

mais bpen rai, Big Heavy. Tell your Gf it is all fantasy - there is no arai ga yawm... [whatever you want]

That worked easily for me - my wife took care of that.

Unless of course you have the simple understanding that sharing good news is a wonderful part of a relationship.. How could you not know this? My favorite part of making money was telling my wife...

Sek Loso? - wow - I loved your music - at least some of it...

It is called sharing and kindness -- it emanates from love for someone and wanting to see them have a good life... no wonder your marriage was a total failure. And you blame her and her family. Another good reason your marriage failed - I always thought of it as commitment to share family and a life together - some people do that you know. I always found that sharing my good fortune w/my wife and her family made me happy - and it served as a motivator to spur me on to make more.

Depends whose apartment you are in...

Many spend on increased comfort, whatever that might be... my college roommate who was very successful flies private now, though it took him a couple of years to admit it... sure, it would not feel worthwhile for near everyone, but he has so much, he is not going to run out of money, so, why not? My curiosity is, what would increased comfort be for others? Personally, as a lifetime saver/investor, I have trouble adjusting to being a spender. Any extravagance rarely seems worth the price. I did buy a nice resort style home which has probably doubled in 4 years...

The equation changes at some point from 'need' to 'want'

Have you met my friend Harvey, the rabbit?

as much as I like convenience, I know a lot of people here and back 'there' and I am going to stick w/my comment...

my kid goes back on Wednesday...

but happy

Free? Really?
